Linda,
Jeffersonville was a US Army Hospital during the Civil War.

Was Jeffersonville a Civil War camp or prison? If he died there, perhaps he
is buried near there? I have someone in my line who died in France in WWI,
and that is where he was buried even though he was a US serviceman.
Just a thought.

Listers,
Is there a complete listing of burials for Randolph Cnty, Jay Cnty and
Wayne Cnty?
All roads keep leading back to that area for my
gg grandfather's
missing body. The govt seems to have lost his body and since I can't find
gg
granny too, I suspect she and gg granddaddy are
hanging
out together. They moved around a lot when they were living. I hope they
aren't doing the same now!
GG Granddaddy was almost court martialed because his bloodied and
bare
feet caused him to fall behind and be captured. He was
released eventually and went through the court martial proceedings,
acquitted and went back to duty. He was later wounded at
Kennesaw Mtn and sent to Jeffersonville where he died. All during
this
time he thought his son was killed in action - and died
thinking that.
I hope to find his burial site and do him the honor he has so long
deserved.
Thanks,
Shirl in OH
